Post subject:  Best Fathers Day Present Ever.
I was so surprised with the present that my family got for me on Fathers Day. :shock: :shock: I am usually able to guess what they are getting me by the probing questions I receive Prior to the special event, but this one totally blew my mind. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn't twig when the wife was looking at our Wedding Album last week,
(38 Years since the blessed event), you only get 25 for murder. :wink: but to my surprise I received a set of personalised number plates, exactly the same that was on my Mini as we left the reception oh so long ago. The number plated represent a Victorian regsitered motor vehicle on the 28th November, 1969, 3 weeks before the first showing of the Italian Job.. :D :D

So now when I get some of the old gang together, :oops: I can tell them that I still have the same car after 38 years, :oops: show them the original wedding photo :oops: and then show them the car in the garage, :wink: displaying exactly the same plates, :cry: the car still looks identical to the original.

I know all the fanatics on this site can tell the difference between a Rover Mini and a 1969 Mini, :roll: :roll: but a mob of drunken old farts may not.. :P

What a surprise and what a great family to think of that. :) :) :) :)

Good one Mrs. Davo, making an old cooper very happy!! :lol:

(let's say nothing about it taking a number plate to do the job, rather than ..... ) :lol:

[edit] to fix a blatant spelling error ;)

Well here they are, exectly the same as the first registered mini I ever owned at the age of 18, got the car registered on the 16th November, 1969. Mini K....

I reckon their pretty cool.....same as the Old Wedding album. After friends have looked at album I tell them that I still have the same car in the garage, and when they ask to see it, they are totally dumbfounded when they see her sitting there is all her glory..

I know its a Rover, but dumb a55, civilians havn't got a clue....
